Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 924 Cardo
Although White Zetsu expressed that he felt very uncomfortable, Black Zetsu felt that Uchiha Obito's chakra suddenly stabilized.

"Take him back!"

Black Zetsu did not dare to be negligent. Although Obito's condition had stabilized, he had not yet woken up. No one knew what kind of poison was so powerful that even White Zetsu could not completely eliminate it.

Is there really such an outrageous poison?

"Should we pursue him?"

Alex asked Wesker.

With the connection of the Black Light Virus, it is very easy to catch up with Uchiha Obito. As long as he is still on this planet, he will not be able to escape from under his nose.

"Not for now. Your virus was actually suppressed and eliminated by the other party. It seems that this world is not simple either."

Wesker tried to invade Alex with his own virus, but was swallowed up by Alex's Blacklight Virus.

So he knew very well how terrible the Blacklight Virus was, but in the end the Blacklight Virus could not do anything to the people in this world.

Although that person is not an ordinary person, it at least shows that this world is not as defenseless in the microscopic field as they imagined.

Originally, Wesker planned to release the T virus to infect the whole world and create a large number of zombies, but now he has canceled this idea.

Since this world has the means to deal with attacks in the microscopic field, Wesker will not give the enemy the opportunity to understand himself, study himself, and target himself.

……

In the Land of Waves, on a piece of land that has been eroded by the sea breeze for many years, the former overlord "Kado" is now curled up in his secret shelter, his heart full of anxiety and uneasiness.

This simple secret room is located next to a seemingly ordinary dock of the Cardo Shipping Company. It is surrounded by carefully arranged traps and surveillance systems. However, these seem insignificant in the face of the domineering power of the Poison Ninja Village.

Cardo's face was gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with complex emotions - both nostalgia for past power and deep fear of his current situation.

He knew very well that his ability to build his empire in this barren land was entirely due to his absolute control over shipping.

Although the number of Wave Country residents is small, with more than 50,000, their survival is extremely dependent on the input of materials from the outside world, and shipping is the throat of this lifeline.

Thinking back to the past, Cardo couldn't help but sneer.

At that time, relying on tough measures and determination at all costs, he gradually squeezed out all competitors and made his shipping company the only shipping giant in the Kingdom of Waves.

He not only controlled the prices of materials, but also indirectly controlled the country's economic lifeline. Even the daimyo had to bow to him and grant him exclusive shipping authorization.

This glory and power once made him think that he could always sit firmly on the top spot in the Kingdom of Waves.

However, the sudden intervention of the Poison Ninja Village was like an unexpected storm, completely shattering his beautiful dream.

Those mysterious ninjas were ruthless and clever. They not only took over his shipping business easily, but also eliminated his subordinates, whether they were mafia or hired ninjas.

Now, Cardo seemed like a lost dog, and could only survive in this dark secret room.

"I told you to find a stronger ninja to protect me. Did you find one?"

There was a hint of hysteria in Cardo's voice. He could not tolerate himself waiting passively for the judgment of fate. His men looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, a brave man stepped forward and tremblingly handed over a stack of bounty notices.

These bounties were collected through various channels. They recorded information about some powerful but independent rebel ninjas in the ninja world. They hoped that one of them could become Cardo's savior.

Cardo took the reward notice and read it carefully one by one, with greed and hope flashing in his eyes.

He knew that although these rebel ninjas had a bad reputation, their strength should not be underestimated. If he could get help from any one of them, perhaps he would still have a chance to turn things around.

"Hmph, 1500 million taels...Kijin Zabuza..."

When Cardo's eyes fell on a bounty with a reward of 1500 million taels, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zabuza the Kidō, this name is well-known in the ninja world. He is known for his ruthlessness and the big sword in his hand, the "Beheading Sword", makes countless ninjas tremble in fear.

Although it is rumored that he is eccentric and difficult to control, Cardo believes that even the hardest stone can be melted if enough money is given.

"Hehe, Demon Zabuza...if you are willing to work for me, then what does the Poison Village mean to you? The entire Land of Waves will be mine again!"

Cardo was calculating secretly in his mind, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

Demon Zabuza quickly agreed to be hired, and Cardo began to be full of confidence.

The strong return of Cardo Shipping Company is like a greedy beast, opening its bloody mouth and ruthlessly devouring every drop of economic vitality in this land.

The days when fishermen used to go out to sea to fish and sell seafood have now become extremely difficult and even full of unknown dangers.

The sun shines on the sparkling sea. It should have been a busy and hopeful moment for the fishermen, but now, they can only look at the waterway controlled by the Cardo Company in the distance, feeling unwilling and helpless.

The ships that once traveled freely between the Kingdom of Waves and the Kingdom of Fire were now forced to fly the flag of Cardo Shipping. Every trip was accompanied by heavy tolls, like birds bound by shackles, losing the freedom to fly.

"How do you think we can live like this?"

A fisherman, whose skin was rough and darkened by the sea breeze, sat on the shore, holding a worn-out pipe tightly in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.

"We used to work hard, but we could always provide for our family. Now, fish prices have dropped, but costs have risen. We are really going from bad to worse."

Several fishermen nearby echoed the sentiment, their faces filled with despair about life and dissatisfaction with Cardo. But in this country firmly controlled by Cardo, their voices seemed so weak, like a drop of water in the waves, instantly drowned.

The instigator of all this, Cardo, was currently sitting in the living room of his luxurious villa with a barely perceptible sneer on his lips.

He knew very well that his actions had aroused public indignation, but he did not care. In his view, as long as he could consolidate his position and gain more benefits, everything else was secondary.

"Humph, these fishermen and merchants are nothing but ants."

Cardo thought to himself.

"Once I have completely taken control of the economic lifeline of Wave Country, the entire country will submit to me."
